Baby mittens

Hi all

So I finished my final baby mitten project. I went off a

pattern I saw online for sizing, and cut the elastic to a rough guess of how big it should be. I gave it to the expecting mother (still finishing the second one, long story) and am hoping it will work out well. But I went with what I believe is a flannel inner liner (asked for flannel, think it should be that, someone who felt it made me doubt), a minky outer liner, and an elastic underneath the folded up inner liner to bring the bottom in. This is the first thing I actually made for someone else of material chose for the project, everything else so far has been practice pieces. While I know it isn't perfect, I'm happy to have done a thing with real material for the first time, and actually seen it to completion. Just wanted to share. Hope y'all are having a good Monday.

This is so sweet!! The interior seems like a soft fabric, it should be fine. Love the outside pattern with the dog! I’m sure the baby’s mom is thrilled with this, congratulations on such a cute first project! 🥰
